How This Is Us season 2 will address aftermath of Kevin’s fall from grace
Speaking on this subject in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, executive producer Elizabeth Berger had the following to say on the subject of the second half of the season — and also the sense of guilt some of the Big Three are going to be feeling:
“It’s going to be combinations of our characters coming back together in a way that will hopefully feel very satisfying because they’ve been so wrapped up in their own things and because they’ve been missing all of these little clues of what’s going on with the other ones … I think, especially with Kevin and Kate, these two really pride each other on picking up the small little clues, or sniffing out what’s going on with their sibling. We’re going to see these two grappling with, ‘Oh my god, how could have I missed this?’ I think all of our characters, to a certain extent, are going to be feeling that way and trying to right whatever wrongs they feel like they’ve committed over the last couple months.”
All of these characters, (in one way or another) can come back from their troubles. The difference with Kevin is that it’s not just a private struggle he is dealing with. He also has to take on the blowback that comes with being an extremely public figure. His arrest is going to make headlines and could impact his career in some big ways. We’ve seen instances of actors bouncing back after struggles like this, but it could take a stint in rehab or an exhaustive tour of righting many wrongs. For Kevin, it’s probably going to be even worse if some tales from his drunken day at his old high school start to spread around.

In this day and age of instant news & social media, I was actually surprised that nothing had immediately come out about the state he was in at the high school.
Fully expected this week’s ep to have one or more family members seeing a story on the morning news, or online about The Manny’s suspect behaviour/the way he looked.
